Dead Infection

Upon reading the DLA (or was it a zine) review of "Surgical Disembowelment", I decided to check this band out. Initially, my reaction was apathetic, but it soon turned to negative as the absolutely lifeless production neuters the album and makes it run together, and that's after listening to the album three times. I wrote off Dead Infection as a shit band.

But then, I decided to give them another chance, and upon Youtubing for a short while, I came upon several videos which piqued my interest. Sort of like Discharge meets Carcass, I am now intrigued by this band and believe that the production on "Surgical Disembowelment" was simply not my cup of tea.

I am open to suggestions on material to obtain, as I have found that they have two other full lengths and a variety of splits. Any feedback is very much appreciated.

'The Party's Over' split with Blood is also good, albeit a bit more crust/grind. Check out Impetigo too.Though most is nonessential, lyrical content of both bands (like Carcass, Pathologist) is poetic.

Dead Infection is bad music. It may be entertaining music, but it can't really go beyond the level of sonic candy. I sometimes enjoy Chapter of Accidents, but I wouldn't notice if it ceased to exist. I think that this is pretty much the bottom line with "grindcore", generally speaking. In essence, it's a kind of jazz, despite how dissimilar it might sound.

I already know Impetigo, great stuff.

Thanks for the suggestions, folks.

Truth be told? I'll take the best of grindcore (Blood, Napalm Death, Brutal Truth, Assuck, etc) over black/death metal any day. Yeah, I know. I'm a hipster.
